    AimProfessional knowledge and awareness of children begins to create at the age of 3-5, and the professional knowledge have acquired at this age was effective in their future career decision-making. This study aimed to develop the Children's Perceived Nursing Image Scale (CPNIS) and evaluate its psychometric properties.MethodsThe methodological study was carried out in a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design. This study was conducted with 614 children aged 8-11 between 21 January-April 2022. The data were collected using a Child Information Form and the CPNIS. The CPNIS is a scale compatible with the deductive approach. The data were analysed using various statistical methods including descriptive statistics (numbers and percentages), t-tests, factor analysis, and correlation analysis. Item-total score analysis, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), and the internal consistency were employed to evaluate the reliability of the measurements. Three-stage cross-sectional study, which followed the STROBE checklist was conducted: (1) development of items, (2) assessing content validity and (3) validity and reliability of the scale.ResultsThe CPNIS is a valid scale consisting of four factors as subdimensions. The total Cronbach's alpha of the scale is 0.93. The scale explained 46.4% of the total variance. The scale Test-Retest analysis, the total ICC value of the scale was found to be 0.84 and p = 0.001.ConclusionEvaluation of the children's perceived nursing image can contribute to the identification of children with negative perceptions in clinics and the planning of interventions that will lead to positive perceptions.© 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
